Step-By-Step Surgical Video of Horizontal and Vertical Defects - Part 1 of 2

Devorah Schwartz-Arad, DMD, PhD

We are aiming for minimal invasive techniques for the benefit of our patients. Nevertheless, there are many occasions in which we need to repair the anatomy and topography of the atrophic site for better positioning of implants and for their longevity.
This step by step surgical technique video presents the treatment sequence for recovering severe vertical and horizontal posterior maxillary atrophy for optimal implant placement. Vertical augmentation is achieved by using: First the anatomy: performing sinus augmentation via lateral wall technique. Second, autologous bone block graft for further recovery of the vertical deficiency decreasing the enlarged inter-maxillary distance.
Horizontal augmentation is achieved by using autologous bone block. Part II will depict implant placement and soft tissue manipulations.

An introduction to describe the use of digitally designed, 3D-printed guides to prepare teeth. This state of the arts technology allows dentists to efficiently prepare teeth and deliver the final restoration in one visit.
The objective of this presentation is to provide the audience an introduction to with the advancement of 3D-printing in dentistry and it’s use as it pertains to restorative options. With computer aided procedures we can now digitally design and prepare 3D-printed guides to precisely prepare teeth and deliver the final restoration without the need for a temporary.
